Climate change and sea-level rise are at unprecedented levels, being phenomena that make predicting the future of ocean resources more complicated. Oceans contain a limitless amount of water with small (but finite) temperature differences from their surfaces to their floors. To advance the utilization of ocean resources, this book readdresses the past achievements, present developments, and future progress of ocean thermal energy, from basic sciences to sociology and cultural aspects. 606 $aOcean thermal power plants 610 $aAlternative & renewable energy sources & technology 615 0$aOcean thermal power plants. 700 $aKim$b Albert S$01263016 702 $aKim$b Albert S. 702 $aKim$b Hyeon-Ju 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 856 40$ahttps://www.intechopen.com/books/ocean-thermal-energy-conversion-otec-past-present-and-progress 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910409725503321 996 $aOcean thermal energy conversion (OTEC)$92957205 997 $aUNINA
